That was back when we had a 60 cent dollar. Buy a new Canadian diesel, drive it for 6 months and 5-6000 km, sell in the States for US $, convert back to CDN $ and make about 7-10% on your money. Nowadays, with the Manufacturer's incentives we have, when you factor in everything the price of diesel pickups is roughly the same both sides of the Line. I know, I checked.
Normally I agree with you and I was looking for one but right now with the incentives, for a couple/3 more grand over a 2 yr old low Km used diesel, I bought a new 09 for 14 grand off list price but in 4 yrs when it's paid for, it'll have should have about 250,000 km. If it turns out to be a good truck I'll mile the SOB out. The one I just parked is @ 450,000Km
